MADISON, Ill. (Nov. 13, 2026) – INDYCAR announced today the full 2027 schedule for the INDY NXT by Firestone series, which will feature World Wide Technology Raceway returning on Sunday, June 13.
The developmental open-wheel series will kick off the Sunday doubleheader, with the NTT INDYCAR SERIES feature race following that evening. The 1.25-mile oval will serve as the seventh stop on the INDY NXT by Firestone 15-race calendar and will pit the rising stars of INDYCAR against their first oval challenge of the season.
Myles Rowe of Abel Motorsports with Force Indy made history at the 2026 event, storming from the last starting position (24th) to win the INDY NXT by Firestone race. Rowe established a series record for winning a race from the lowest starting position in series history. He held off a late challenge on a restart with eight laps remaining before pulling away to secure the victory by 2.2 seconds.
The INDY NXT by Firestone series has produced drivers such as 2025 Bommarito Automotive Group 500 winner Kyle Kirkwood and will see 2026 INDY NXT by Firestone champion Nikita Johnson graduate to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES for 2027.
